About the Gateway Festival Orchestra
Welcome to the Gateway Festival Orchestra! Since 1964, we have enriched St. Louis with free, high-quality symphonic and chamber music, especially for children, youth, seniors, and those facing disadvantages.
Bringing People Together Through Music
Believing that music is a universal language, we create joyful moments and foster community connections. Here’s what we offer:
- Summer Concerts: Enjoy free family-friendly concerts each July featuring outstanding conductors.
- Young Artist Program: Providing performance opportunities for local youth (ages 12–22).
- Active Listener Program: Bringing live music to libraries, schools, and senior centers since 1994.
- Library Chamber Concerts: Intimate performances at local libraries to inspire all ages.
Committed to inclusivity, GFO has performed nearly 300 concerts throughout St. Louis, connecting people through the power of music. Join us and experience the joy of music in your community!
